Kim Dower: “I write poetry in part—as many have said—to help me create order out of chaos. W.H. Auden’s line, ‘Poetry is the clear expression of mixed feelings,’ always rings true for me. ‘The Delivery Man’ helped me sort out a lot of mixed feelings after events in the news brought back a creepy memory from childhood. Writing it also showed me that upsetting experiences are not necessarily traumatizing.” (web)
